HIT and RUN
My car was parked in a law firm parking lot for less than 5 minutes to pick up something. Someone hit and cracked my rear bumper about 8 inches long on the right side. I did a few estimates and the cheapest one is few dollars short of a couple grand to fix it.
Second estimate, the guy quoted me $900ish with a bumper cover of $198. Fortunately, I show him my previous estimate or else I be giving him the job and I end up with a wrong bumper.
CLK320 rear bumper cover cost $198.
CLK500 rear bumper cover cost $1430!
Does an AMG bumper worth $1200 dollars more?

Maybe its time to get a set of Brabus bumpers!! 
There is NO WAY that a CLK320 bumper costs $198. There is something wrong with your second estimate.
But $1430 for an AMG rear bumper is a bit too much (if it doesnt include painting).

What is the difference between a 320 and a 500 bumper? I thought that they were identical though.

No, I didn't go through insurance this time because my girlfriend ex-C320 had a hit and run also in 2002.
Brabus bodykits aren't expensive at all. At least it's cheaper than AMG. Does the price include paint?
